Our week ended with a lovely celebratory assembly for our mums, nans and aunties this morning. As always, the children rose to the occasion and sang with such enthusiasm. Enthusiasm was also evident during World Book Day on Thursday. Please see below for photos and details of what turned out to be a truly fantastic day!

The end of term is fast approaching and will culminate with a birthday celebration day for 50 years of Crestwood Park- please read details below about arrangements for this day.

Year 2 have been busy bees crafting character descriptions of our beloved Mr Fox.

Let's dive into Thomas's fantastic piece! His vivid descriptions truly bring Mr Fox to life.

Well done, Thomas! Keep up the excellent work, Year 2! 🌟

We are getting very excited for our birthday celebrations in school on Friday 22nd March. On this day, children can wear party clothes!

Our morning assembly at 9.00am on this day will see the children taking us through the decades and recalling moments from Crestwood Park’s history. Due to special guests (including past members of staff) attending this assembly, we will have a limit of ONE SEAT PER FAMILY. No pre-school children will be able to attend. It is impossible to accommodate more than this due to the size of our hall and Health and Safety regulations. Your seat for the assembly will be available to book from Monday 11th March on the School Life app under the Clubs and Bookings tab.

Children will have their lunch as a street party and take part in party games during the afternoon!

We appreciate that parents would like to be involved so, as the morning assembly places are limited, we are opening up an invite to ALL to come onto the playground at 3.00pm when the children will perform a celebratory song (weather permitting).

On our Birthday Celebration Day, we are hoping to set up a ‘Crestwood Park through the Decades’ room containing memorabilia and photographs.

If you know anyone who has attended Crestwood Park in the past who may have some items or photographs, we could display in the room, could you please ask if they would be prepared to ‘loan’ them to us for this day. Any items and photographs can be sent in via the school office.

If we could have them by Wednesday 20th March, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support with this request.

From Monday 8th April, we will not be accepting any cash payments for toast and milkshakes.

These breaktime tuck items will need to be booked and paid for on the Teachesr2Parents app.

Thank you to parents who are already using this facility.

Thank you to everyone who has purchased raffle tickets so far!

There is still another week to go before the draw, so look our for your HSA team on the playground after school!

Ask your child what treat they are saving for this term!

Finally...

As I sign off this week, I want to wish all Mum’s a Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday and share a special quote with you...

“To the world, you are a mother, but to your family, you are the world.”

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is the responsibility of everyone in our school and at all times we consider what is in our children's best interests. We work to ensure our children are safe and cared for and by doing this we are protecting their health and development and preventing them from harm.  If we are worried, we will raise concerns, share information and take prompt action with the aim of ensuring families receive the right help at the right time.
